DURBAN – Former Premier Soccer League (PSL) strikers, Edward Manqele and Moeketsi Sekola are on the verge of signing for the National First Division outfit, Royal Eagles.

Eagles missed out on promotion to the PSL via the play-offs last season as they finished second on the log.

General Manager at the club, James Dlamini confirmed that they are in talks with Sekola and Manqele.

"Yes, I can confirm that Manqele and Sekola are here with us. They haven't signed but we are still in talks with them," Dlamini explained.

Manqele rose to prominence during his spell with Free State Stars before making a move to Mamelodi Sundowns. He struggled for game time at the Brazilians and was loaned out to Moroka Swallows where he revived his career. Manqele went on to play for sides like Chippa United and Kaizer Chiefs. Last season, he was on the books of Tshakhuma.
